[Mr. Marshmallow]

My intent is not to make a pity party on my soul if that's what you mean. The reason for this thread was to express a genuine issue that is currently concerning me and I wanted opinions on. I don't want people to make me feel better or lie to me saying things simply to make me feel better about the issue.

I became interested in the study of fetishes during college when i took a human sexual psychology course and learned a lot about the different kind of fetishes (again I am NOT listing them NOR am i suggesting anyone should). My thing was the fact someone mentioned treatment near fetishes scared me because it was an indication that "it was wrong".

My fetish does also not desire or involve sex, but I was upset to learn that someone could say you can be treated from it. Again i am not going to say what my fetish is and I am not invocating the notion that i want people to talk about fantasies or anything like that, I want that to be VERY CLEAR.

My question was being of someone who is found in a personally related question, would someone be considered crazy for having a fetish? That's my point and I was curious because I have a fetish and naturally, no one else really talks about this kind of thing so how is someone to know if it's something people treat as social alienation or "mental defect"?

I feel loads better just reading sparky's comment alone and like I imagined, talking about this with people I feel "good" around makes me lots better about it. I am sorry if finding out this information about me troubles you or you look at me differently.

I simply wanted advice and I hope none of you will look at me in a different or at least a negative light now that you know this.
